Medium: A Paranormal

I guess if her character doesn't act the way she acts there is no story. Very thick at times. For someone who has the gift all her life, I find she makes questionable decisions. I actually couldn't stand the actress as well, her acting was questionable for me. I tried to like her, but unfortunately I couldn't stand her face/way of acting during certain episodes or scenes. All the other actors, where for me more relatable and connectable. Loved them all. The storylines were great, great dialogues and filming.

What some people do not realize about medium is that it is also loosely based on a real life woman. She does this exact kind of work in her hometown for local law enforcement. Even if the premise is not original, the writing and acting of the show could not be better. Medium is a delight to watch. Ms. Arquette who portrays her character with such passion was and excellent choice for this role. I find myself waiting for each Monday to come around just to see what she will dream next. I truly hope this show hangs around for many seasons. It is an excellent show which I hope will continue to fascinate and entrance our minds.

This show is great. The main character is very believable as an ordinary housewife with an extraordinary gift. The best ting about the show is the writing; the heroine is not infallible, neither is her husband. The two kids are also incredible. Neither of them is "precious" or precocious, they act like ordinary girls, and the little one is downright goofy, which makes here especially charming.

I have no idea why this show airs in the last hour of prime time, when there's very little to offend anyone. It's nowhere near as putridly disgustingly gory as any of the CSI shows which air in the middle time-slot. (Which I also love, but not for the gore)

I really enjoy this show. The premise is great. The paranormal aspect is handled well, and I love the interplay between the husband and wife. For me, it's a never-miss-it show, and I don't say that for too many shows. Good job! My husband had one issue with a legal aspect, but he's a lawyer so that's expected. The show I really enjoyed was the one with the husband's friend at work. I also enjoyed the show where one of their daughters made a friend at school. It was also very touching. The emotional growth of the characters is well done. One has to feel sorry for the husband, right? :-) He can't get away with anything. I also like the way they have returning characters.

Since the success of "Sixth Sense," many characters in the movies and on television have been seeing dead people. Allison, a law student with a husband and three kids, is one of them. This series is based on a real-life, gifted medium. She is portrayed by Patricia Arquette. Having seen the real Allison Dubois and heard her speak, this is great casting.

The episodes I've seen thus far have been entertaining, refreshing, intriguing, and a nice break from the usual fare on network television, i.e., bachelors, survivors, bachelorettes, and makeover victims. Arquette's performance is understated, that of a likable character with an offbeat, supportive husband, cute kids, and a bizarre relationship with the spirit world. The guest cast tends towards the quirky, making them interesting. Allison's visions are more focused than the rather far-fetched images the young woman gets on "Missing," probably because Allison is not only seeing, but talking to, dead people.
